Chapter 392 Destination

The mandate of the Armed Task Force is extensive and onerous.

Mainly carry out small armed activities, publicize the party's principles and policies and anti-Japanese propositions, attack small groups of enemy puppet armed forces, and go deep into enemy-occupied areas to carry out psychological warfare.

In enemy-occupied areas, anti-Japanese propaganda was carried out in the form of deployment, discussions, meetings, heart-to-heart talks, leaflets, etc., and the situation of the War of Resistance was talked about, so that the people in the enemy-occupied areas understood the truth that the War of Resistance must be won.

And try to unite progressives, establish contact with them, develop "fortress households", and resolutely attack diehards, and never condone and forgive.

Zhou Dafang is a progressive person. No matter day or night, as soon as the armed labor team arrived, his whole family actively helped the armed labor team to carry out anti-Japanese activities and did a lot of useful work. He is a local model.

The traitors are also active in the dark in order to earn rewards for their meritorious service. Whenever there is trouble, they will report to the nearby blockhouses. All the blockhouses are equipped with telephones, which can quickly carry out arrest operations, which hinders the work of the armed task force. Heavy.

Tian Linshan, the big landlord of Donghuiying Village, colluded with 12 landlords in the village to form a "board of directors", actively cooperated with the devils and puppet troops to rule the village, and ordered the security chief not to receive the staff of the Eighth Route Army, not to allow military workers to enter the village, and to Publicly slandering and insulting the Party and the Eighth Route Army, attacking and persecuting anti-Japanese fighters in eight towns and villages, and using the Eighth Route Army as a crime at every turn, killing ordinary people. .

A crescent moon hangs dimly in the sky.

The quiet village returned to tranquility after a few dogs barking.

The faint sound of guns and guns in the south has been ringing all night, from evening to now.

Captain Yu had a bad feeling in his heart. He knew that the military division was attacking Qi County. It stands to reason that the secret service team had arranged for people to enter the city in advance to respond, and had concentrated most of the military division's superior forces. It should not be difficult to take down the county.

However, the sound of gunfire from the south that lasted all night made him feel a little worried.

The Eighth Route Army generally does not fight positional warfare for too long when attacking. After all, the Eighth Route Army's ammunition is no match for the devils.

The Eighth Route Army is best at guerrilla attacks, raids, and ambushes
He entered a village with a heavy heart, and asked other soldiers to stay outside the village to guard. He and a small team leader climbed over the wall and entered a small courtyard.

Captain Yu knocked on the door several times, long and short.

There was a rustling sound in the room.

After a while, the door opened.

The people in the house did not light their lights.

A smile appeared on Captain Yu's tired face: "Old Zhou, I'm so sorry to bother you so early!"

"Where is it, what action will I take when I come back? If there is anything you want me to do, just say it." The middle-aged man named Lao Zhou, wearing a jacket, looked at the two people standing at the door who climbed over the wall and entered the courtyard. Not surprised.

"How's the situation in this neighborhood recently?" Captain Yu asked in the dark without turning on the lights.

"I have found out clearly that the traitor in Tianlinshan not only colluded with the national army, but also with the devils and puppet army, poisoning many ordinary people. When you come back, you must get rid of this cancer." Lao Zhou's tone was a little sad and angry.

"Old Zhou, don't worry, we will definitely eradicate this kind of traitor. However, we really have something to trouble you now. We have other things now. You take Xiao Wang and the others to find out the surrounding situation first. Which troops are operating in this area."

"Uh, nearby? Apart from the district team and the devils and puppet troops in the stronghold, is there anyone else?" Old Zhou blurted out.

"I'm talking about these two days, there should be other teams coming over, this situation must be clarified."

"Ah, that's it. That's fine. I'll take this matter to me. I'll take Xiao Wang and the others to the district team. They know the situation better than me." Zhou Dafang finished speaking neatly, and went back into the room to change clothes. .

"Then I'll trouble you. By the way, where does the district team live these days?" Captain Yu asked Zhou Dafang in the back room.

"I don't know. They are changing places almost every two days. You didn't come, so we can't inquire casually. I have to find their liaison officer in the village first."

"Well, this matter must be done quickly. We must contact them before noon and let them assemble and stand by." After Captain Yu finished speaking, he turned his head and whispered to the darkness next to him: "Xiao Wang, you and Lao Zhou Go to the district team, I will work with the government after dawn, and I will arrange for people to gather other comrades here for the next step, and they will notify you when you come back, be careful and pay attention to safety."

Although the journey went smoothly overnight, but in the enemy-occupied area, one cannot be too careful no matter what.

Captain Yu has rich combat experience. In the plain area, the concealment is poor. As long as he is exposed, he will definitely be surrounded. In the end, there is basically no other way to go except to fight to the death. This is why he wants to divide the work team into five groups and act separately. reason.

Even if one group is exposed, the other groups can still get the news and save their power. There is no way around this.

The enemy's battlefield gathers the team together, the target is too big, there are traitors and lackeys everywhere, and one who is not careful may be denounced.

Devils and traitors arrest people without asking why.

In the night sky that has been dark for many nights, a crescent moon exudes hazy light.

The marching team didn't even bother to light the torches.

Although Xiao Hongying, the deputy of the Ninth Battalion, is small, she has been fighting devils and traitors for a long time, and she is not small in heart.

Swaggering and rampaging in the enemy-occupied area all night, he didn't forget to scold the guards inside when he passed the blockhouse. When he passed the village, he even scolded the traitor who jumped out of the darkness in the village.

He almost screwed off the heads of the traitors and used them as chamber pots.

By dawn, it was still more than ten miles away from the county seat!

Marched more than 40 miles overnight, which was nearly half slower than Jiulian's usual marching speed.

To reach the destination, if the speed is a little faster, it will only take an hour.

After a while, the sun must be shining again, and the girl who was half asleep and half awake on the stretcher felt uncomfortable: "Send the order, find a village to rest, and leave after breakfast."

Anyway, after dawn, the sun hangs in mid-air before marching, and it won't be too hot.

All of a sudden, a certain village was in dire straits.

The big dog was carrying a lunch box of dry rice and stuffing fried meat with salted vegetables into his mouth.

While eating, he pointed at Tian Sanqi's nose on the roof: "Damn you are really good at it! Those rotten garlics under your hand will fetch water for the villagers as soon as they reach the ground. We are the security team now, your mother Can't you use your brain?"

"They are in a hurry, hehe..." A soldier next to the big dog couldn't help but smile at Tian Sanqi on the roof: "Look, look at his virtue, he goes to the room to repair it early in the morning." I went to the house, as if I was afraid that others would not know that he was the Eighth Route Army.”

Tian Sanqi was stunned, feeling, is it wrong for his subordinates to do things for the common people? "I like it, what's the matter, who said that the security team can't carry water for the fellows to build houses? This is a fine tradition of our army."

Tang Dagou was dumbfounded when he heard it, and what he said seemed to make sense.

"Damn, can you keep your voice down, if someone overhears it, something bad will happen."

However, I never did this when I was in the national army, of course, except for someone who paid for it.

Tang turned a girl out from behind the dog, with a big steamed bun in her mouth.

The big dog has almost become the girl's follower, since the big dog is here, she must not be far away.

The girl still had steamed buns in her mouth, she shook her head and yawned: "Tian Sanqi, you really look good on me, I don't know if you idiot can do more absurd things!"

Tian Sanqi looked aggrieved, but now that the soldier had already entered the room, and the water tank was almost full, there was no point in blaming himself, so he said with a straight face: "If you do it, then do it, what do you want?"

"Okay, have you learned how to put your nose on your face? You are now giving money to traitors, understand? If you want to be a traitor? That's fine too. My aunt will leave you here to work for the common people every day. "

"The superiors have said that our Eighth Route Army is to do things for the common people. Aren't they common people?" Tian Sanqi, who is upright by nature, learned to argue with whom.

"Success, I have awakened. Why didn't you do this when you were in Erlian? I don't believe that idiot Gao Yidao didn't kick you to death."

"Didn't I not be in the enemy-occupied area at that time, I didn't have a chance to do it if I wanted to."

"You don't remember to eat, you don't remember to fight." Xiao Hongying saw Tian Sanqi's virtue of being a dead pig who is not afraid of boiling water, turned around and went to the wall to kick the ladder.

"Hey, you dead girl, what are you doing so early in the morning?" Tian Sanqi yelled from the roof.

The girl raised her braid immediately after hearing this, and turned around: "Big dog, assemble the team, let's go, let this guy get away with it here."

"Hey, hey, don't go, what are you doing? Am I just kidding?"
